10 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT RED HULK

07.10.17

The Red Hulk is a mystery to many casual fans of the Marvel Universe, especially those who are more well versed with the lore of the MCU. But where there is a green Hulk, the aftermath of a science experiment performed by the brilliant Bruce Banner, there is a counterpoint in the form of his arch rival, the Red Hulk. The Red Hulk is actually General Ross, the father of Bruce’s longtime girlfriend Betty. A brilliant military leader, he eventually hits rock bottom and becomes the Red Hulk after making a deal with M.O.D.O.K. Red Hulk is insanely powerful, a walking nuclear armament essentially and one of the strongest beings in the MCU. He may not be in the MCU yet, but good old General Ross was in both the 2003 and 2009 versions of the Hulk as well as the hit film Captain America: Civil War. So it’s theoretically possible we’ll see him in one of the Infinity Wars films. In the comics, Ross has teamed up with the likes of Deadpool and Punisher to form a supergroup in an alternative time line and despite his hatred towards Banner and the Hulk, sees his daughter become the Red She-Hulk after she’s brought back to life. Oh, and because the Red Hulk retains Ross’ consciousness, he can use his strategic military mind while in Hulk mode, thus allowing him to make some clever choices on the fly, such as figuring out a genius way to wield Thor’s hammer. Now that’s something we’d love to see in Ragnarok.
